im just beginning to do spins and pretty much every time i spin, my outside leg kinda flais out a bit and my ski turns away from the direction im spinning. basically im not keeping my legs together in the air. any tips on how to keep my legs together and skis parallel would be great.

haha amen.^ anyway to the guy who started this: I used to have that problem when I was learning 3s. Two things I can think of 1) you aren't pop off the lip. When you pop you have to use your whole body, so that will help you. 2) you aren't going fast enough. you are trying to swing your leg around hard to make up for lost momentum. And lastly, what the guy said above: lead with your head! :)

'can you read what that says?'
'donna simma?'
'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'
'simma, donna?'
'that's right now Simma down na!'

If you haven't already done so, go jump and spin on a tramp. You might be throwing yourself off axis which is causing your feet to compensate.
